Last week, Nicole and I premiered “Boxed Lunch” (a short film we made about Sally Bell’s Kitchen in collaboration with the Southern Foodways Alliance) at the SFA 2013 Summer Symposium: Women at Work here in Richmond, VA. It was such a privilege to share the film with the Jones family and our SFA guests. We had two back-to-back screenings in the basement of the Valentine Richmond History Center (Sally Bell’s has an outpost cafe in the Valentine courtyard, go check it out!) followed by a Sally Bell’s boxed lunch luncheon and panel discussion with the Jones family (moderated by our very own Nicole Lang).
